Pretty Pink Posh - August 2022 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! I'm so excited to be joining in on the blog hop to celebrate the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween release.  The brand new release is available now, and it's SPOOKTACULAR!!  Be sure to read to the bottom of my post for info on the giveaway and links to today's blog hop participants!

                              

I had so much fun creating this slimline card and coordinating tags using the new Halloween Critters and Halloween Borders stamp sets! 

To begin, I stamped the images from Halloween Critters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Halloween Critters Coordinating Dies. 

Next, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I cut a circle from masking paper and placed it in the middle of the panel and ink blended the background using Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. I removed the masking paper and lightly inked the moon with gray ink to give the moon some dimension. Next, I die cut 2 grassy borders from green cardstock and birch trees from black cardstock using the Nature Essentials Dies. I then stamped the spooky fence 2 times in black ink from the Halloween Borders stamp set and die cut the borders using the Halloween Borders Coordinating Dies. I attached the grassy borders to the bottom of the inked panel, then tucked the fence borders under the grass, overlapping them to fit the length of the card. I then adhered the black birch trees to my card before attaching the critters with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink across the moon and attached the completed card to a black 3 1/2 x 8 1/2" card base to finish.

Next, I created a fun set of tags to coordinate with the slimline card. 

 I stamped the images from Halloween Critters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Halloween Critters Coordinating Dies.  Next, I cut 2 black scalloped tags using the Scallop Square Tags. I then cut Bristol smooth cardstock to fit inside the scallop tags and ink blended then as I did the slimline card. I then stamped the spooky fence 2 times in black ink from the Halloween Borders stamp set and die cut the borders using the Halloween Borders Coordinating Dies. I attached the grassy borders to the bottom of the inked panel, then tucked the fence borders under the grass, cutting off the edges to fit the width of the tag. The birch trees were tucked behind the fence borders before attaching the critters with foam tape. I stamped the sentiments from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set in black ink along the grassy borders, then finished off the tags by adding a couple of stamped bats, also from  Halloween Envelopes.

Construction Trucks with Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends! I had so much fun creating these cards featuring the new set, Construction Trucks, from Pretty Pink Posh. This set is so much fun, and would be perfect to create party favors for a construction themed party!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Construction Trucks Stamp Set onto Bristol smooth cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I then die cut the colored images using the Construction Trucks Coordinating Dies.

To create this A2 card, I began with an A2 panel and attached black and yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies. I adhered the strips diagonally, cutting off the excess to create a fun background. Next, I cut a smaller rectangle panel from Bristol smooth cardstock. I created the dirt hills using the new Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hills. Next, I ink blended the top of the card with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks and attached it to a white mat before attaching to the striped background. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink and attached it to an A2 white card base to complete my card.

I also created a fun, coordinating box card using the Construction Trucks stamp set. I began by cutting the base of the box from black cardstock. I added some yellow cardstock strips die cut using the Simple Strips Dies, attaching them diagonally as I did the A2 card. Next, I finished assembling the base of the box. The backdrop was cut from Bristol smooth cardstock, and the top was ink blended with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I created the dirt hill using the Layered Roads Stencil, and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Vintage Photo ink, thinned with water, to add some interest to the hill. I then attached my backdrop to a white mat and adhered it to the box. 

I attached the colored images to the box, using foam tape on some for both dimension and to add some stability to the box. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock and attached to the front of the box card and finished it off with a little truck attached with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to create some fun Construction themed projects!

Hugs,

Tammy
